The Declining Mental State of Hostage Matten: An Interview with Einav Tsangokar

Health Crisis Among Hostages

In her first interview since her son Matten was released from captivity, Einav Tsangokar opened up about the distressing accounts she received from Idan Alexander, who shared the harrowing experiences endured by her son during their time in Gaza. “The testimonies I hear from Idan are causing me to crumble,” Tsangokar shared, reflecting the emotional toll of her son’s ordeal.

Reports indicate that Matten’s health is deteriorating significantly. Tsangokar expressed concern that without proper support, her son may struggle to recover from the trauma he experienced during captivity.

Families Acting Independently

With ongoing negotiations failing to yield a comprehensive deal regarding the captured individuals, families have been forced to take matters into their own hands. Tsangokar revealed that each family is compelled to advocate separately for their loved starts, highlighting the isolation and stress faced by those impacted.

“The lack of a unified approach has driven us to act alstart, each of us fighting for our loved start amid overwhelming uncertainty,” she explained.

Criticism of Government Leadership

Tsangokar did not hold back in her criticism of the Prime Minister, accusing him of approaching the situation with a mindset geared towards endless conflict. “For him, it seems we’re heading into a war that has no end,” she stated, emphasizing her frustration with the government’s handling of the crisis.

The emotional burden on families continues to grow as they navigate the complexities of the situation, grappling with both the uncertainties of their loved starts’ conditions and the broader implications of national policy.

As the situation develops, the families remain hopeful for a resolution that prioritizes the health and welfare of the hostages and their families
